J D Vance, on the other hand, gave an utterly absurd, and equally xenophobic, answer. The high cost of housing would be rectified not only by severely limiting immigration, but also through mass deportations of recent immigrants. What made this answer even more frightening was that it was rarely mentioned after the debate; and, believe it or not, polling shows that the idea of mass deportations is seen by much of the population as a good approach to the housing crisis. Clearly, we need ro set the record straight about what can bring down the cost of housing in America \u2013 and we will do exactly that on this week\u2019s PDA Town Hall. Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) will explain why California\u2019s Prop 33 ballot measure that will re-establish the right of cities and towns around the State to adopt rent control measures is so important, not just for Californians but for all Americans. A victory for Yes on 33 \u2013 in the largest state in country, where the crisis of affordable housing has been more pronounced for a longer time than anywhere else in the USA \u2013 would represent the biggest victory yet for poor, working- and middle-class Americans over the big money interests that have increasing dominated the housing market in recent decades, and have been bilking the American people. We\u2019ll also be joined by the great Derek Marshall (CA-23), running a great campaign in a largely rural district. A victory by Derek will also be a national game-changer, proving the appeal of progressive ideas in the large geographic expanse of so-called Red State America, where people are also looking for significant and positive change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PDAMERICA \u2022 Started streaming 8 minutes ago In this past week\u2019s Vice Presidential debate, when Tim Walz was asked about the housing crisis, he talked about the sensible first-step policies that the Harris-Walz campaign is proposing \u2013 which, once again, revealed that the Democratic ticket is sincere in wanting to&#8230; <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/2024\/10\/06\/pda-sunday-progressive-town-hall-september-29-2024-2\/\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36744"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36744"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36747,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36744\/revisions\/36747"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
